Through a combination of science popularization and exhibitions, it will take children on a thrilling journey of autos.
Covering 1,200 square meters, the area features 38 immersive auto interactive experience programs catering for children aged between two and 10 years. There are seven interactive scenes such as town, forest and valley with DIY and role play activities.
